What stresses you out?

Well, I have an anxiety disorder anyways...so I get stressed out pretty easily. I can't stand a lot of noise and I have three children, 9..8..and 19 months old, so it's kind of hard for it not to be noisy around my house. I can't stand being in crowds...that stresses me out and bills of course. I always dread the first of the month. My husband is overseas and it stresses me out because I am always worrying about him and his safety. Wow, I'm just a really stressed out person. LOL! I am on medication though, which helps out a lot when it comes to getting stressed and having anxiety attacks. God bless

LOL...what a day to ask me this. I won't go into the most current details otherwise I may feel the need to be destructive but needless to say it has been a very stressful couple days..if you read my discussions involving my in laws you'll notice I have a lot of stress. I handle my stress by coming here and ranting to whoever will listen. It helps a little and when it doesn't I think evil thoughts about the offenders until I am amused at what I've come up with.

Lots of things actually.., I am normally happy with myself and the way I am, but things outside my control really annoy me. Like, people's driving sense, traffic on Indian roads, bad attitude, back stabbing etc I am not very materialistic, but people running after money and wanting to have it all without doing anything worthwhile to deserve it.. really p-ss me off.

it is common now a days as u said every one has there own way to overcome the stress,for example a teacher shows his stress on their students in the way scoldings,a wife shows his stress on articles like throwing. i will get it off by destroying any article in my hands but i now change my trend simply by having a smile on my face

Hi JJ, I'm probably one of the most fortunate people I know in this subject (and many more). In the past, I have had some of the most highly stressful positions a woman could have (thank God). Each one of them were a result of a terrific education and great opportunities. Not to mention being a wife and mother, which in itself can produce its own level of stress, I have been a business owner of several very successful businesses with numerous employees and for a time was a private secretary to a high level politician. I was also, for a time, second in charge of an all male prison facility that houses over 900 inmates. I can honestly tell you I never allowed any of those responsibilities to overwhelm me or stress me out. I have always had the good grace of God with me and carried the faith of a mustard seed throughout my working career. My policy in each position was always, "if you do what's right, if you follow policy, if you treat others with respect, like you want to be treated, there will be no reason for stress in your life". Even when things around you look very bleek and disquieting, if you try to be a part of the solution instead of becoming part of the problem, if you look for the blessing that each circumstance holds, then stress,(which I always considered a part of confusion - and we know where confusion comes from), would not gain any foothold in your heart or mind. I made a conscious choice not to give place to stress or confusion or to allow it to be any part of my life. When others who weren't as fortunate as myself and who weren't capable of posessing that kind of thought process came to me trying to upset me or frustrate me for the sake of frustration, I simply closed my eyes for a moment and said a silent prayer that God would give me the wisdom to defuse the situation and give the person the answer they were seeking, or in some cases, let them know their attempt to confuse me was not going to be successful. They either walked away completely confused to what had taken place or walked away convinced they had received what they had come for. So - how do I handle stress? I simply take the attempt stress presents itself as and turn it into a positive action or response. While many people would not agree with the following statement, , , There is contentment is every situation if you look deeply enough.

Right now my parents. They are constantly at each others throats. And i feel like im being put in the middle of it. And i hate that!

I enjoy doing any work so work cannot be causing any stress. It is the worries that is causing me the stress. So I am working to get rid of worries by doing meditation. The only way to handle stress is meditation, concentrate on one work or the other, try to be as happy as possible by doing pleasant things around you.

Lots of things stress me out such as being late, waiting for other people to get things done, money issues, etc. I have not found the magic cure for reducing stress - but exercising and getting enough sleep helps a bit.

I had a boring meeting every Monday evening. Only the head teacher's opinion seemed to matter. It stressed me that time was wasted and that discussions were unfair. Cycling home after that made all my stress fly away. I find it stressful if someone makes my kitchen untidy. I think clutter clearing and good organization is a way to make a less stressful lifestyle for person. Dealing with paperwork in a sensible way avoids losing important papers.

For me it is studying, especially leading up to exams. I don't want to fail the university subjects and repeat them so there is always the fear of doing bad. And hence I need to study for long periods, but then again there is always the fear of believing you don't know enough or you must know everything since you never really know what's going to be tested and not.

I am usually stressed out with a lot of things...from the petty ones to the real stressful situations at home and at work. I have a couple of obsessions: like our house and my office should be clean and organized. Having it otherwise will cause my hair to fall out and more wrinkles on my face. Of course, beating deadlines at work, preparing for a meeting in which I am the presiding officer, or even when I am made to prepare for a speech, addressing a large group...a couple of times that I'd just simply freak out because some jobs did not turn out as expected, and a lot of other things. Of course, my family's health, finances, etc. also can cause my body alarm to send distress signals.

it definitely would be my work. Because I am sometimes at the project site and because of the tight dateline to meet the project milestones, I am often worked hard and late. And often, both my shoulders get so stiffed up and tired. For that, I go to a spa and for a massage whenever I'm stressed or just for the relaxation.

Well, besides finances, my ex-wife was the main source of my stress. Since we have been separated and now finally divorced, my stress level has lessened.

The things that stress me out are the things that, well, the things that do not go my way all the time. I find that to put me in upredictiable situations which makes me feel as if I do not have control over my life. No one likes not having control over their life. How I handle my stress is- I use several different methods. One such method would be for me just to sit back, and relax, and understand that things will eventually go back to normal. Sometimes what I do is something which no one should do. That thing is gorge on snack and candy. Its a bad habit that I should break.

It stresses me out when my stepson comes to visit here, because he acts like a little brat. and he doesn't tend to listen to what i say. It would stress me out a lot less if i didnt' have a step son, but i guess i signed up for what i got. I just didn't know what it was i was signing up for beforehand. stupid me.

my dad stresses me. eversince he returned, he made life complicated.. i try my best to ignore him but sometimes, it's hard not to pay attention to his wrongdoings. i just go and remind myself that no matter what happens, he's still my dad and nothing's gonna change that. i still and must respect him.
